Spiritual Beggars je švédska stoner rocková kapela z Halmstadu, založená gitaristom Michaelom Amottom, známym aj z Arch Enemy a Carcass. Skupina čerpá z tradícií klasického hard rocku 70. rokov a do svojej hudby prináša prvky psychedélie, spája ťažké groove pasáže s melodickými linkami.
Kompilácia Ad Astra vyšla v roku 2000 na CD u vydavateľstva Music for Nations. Obsahuje 13 skladieb, medzi nimi Left Brain Ambassadors, Wonderful World, Angel of Betrayal či takmer sedemminútovú Mantra. Názov albumu — „k hviezdam“ v latinčine — odkazuje aj na jednu zo skladieb Per Aspera ad Astra.
V čase vydania tvorili skupinu Christian Sjöstrand (basgitara, spev), Michael Amott (elektrická gitara), Ludwig Witt (bicie), Per Wiberg (klávesy) a Apollo Papathanasio (spev).
